Dear Health In Motion, I received a bench swing as a Christmas present this past year and I wanted to say that I absolutely love the swing. I have enjoyed it, find it a great place to sit and chat with my friends, lounge in the sun or read a book under the shade of a tree. My swing is totally in the elements in Florida and it has held up tremendously well. find it a great place to sit and chat with my friends, lounge in the sun or read a book under the shade of a tree.
